There are a few variables that will determine what type of pond aeration will give you the best results in your situation and value for your money. Many factors determine how oxygen saturated your water is. Some variable factors that effect oxygen level are vegetation density, wind, sunlight and rain. As experts, we can use an oxygen meter to determine oxygen saturation at a given point at a given time.

  3. D OIN E E DP O N D A E R A T I O N ? Pond constants, like diameter and depth, can be used to determine potential aeration issues. Using some simple math, you can determine if your pond may need aeration. Take half your shortest diameter and divide it by the depth at that point. If your answer is greater than 3 you may need aeration. For example, a 100-foot diameter pond 12 feet deep would work like this: 50/12=4.2. This calculation is based on a hydrodynamic property of water and its ability to circulate.

  4. W H A TD O E ST H E C A L C U L A T I O N M E A N ? This means that the bottom couple of feet in that area could be “dead” water. “Dead” water is water that cannot effectively support life. Small pockets of “dead” water are normal. When the percentage of dead water gets too large, your pond becomes less productive and possibly could have a low oxygen situation. Pond aeration effectively limits the percentage of dead water

  5. Many of my discussions with customers often start with the pond or lake owner telling us that their pond is “X” feet deep, spring fed and “Y” acres. My followup question is “what are the dimensions?” Hence, this is how we start the conversation of whether or not they need pond aeration.
